Marvel Movies on Netflix: How to Stream a Stan Lee Tribute at Home

Stan Lee was a giant. In addition to his gregarious personality and knack for storytelling and self-mythologizing, the iconic comic creator was responsible for laying the groundwork for the entire Marvel Universe. Right when he was ready to quit, a 39-year-old Stan Lee decided, which a nudge from his wife Joan, to just create a comic for himself. That comic turned out to be Fantastic Four, a comic about deeply flawed superheroes published in an era when superheroes were godlike and not selling well. Through his collaboration with the equally brilliant artist Jack Kirby, the Marvel Universe was born in 1961.

It’s safe to say that 57 years later, Marvel’s taken over our universe. The characters created by Stan Lee and artists like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck, Bill Everett, and more are now featured in countless movies, animated films, and TV shows. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most successful movie franchises of all time, and it’s all thanks to the work Lee and his co-creators did all those years ago.
